Hi Jill,

The 192.168.1.151:80 value for the IP is correct for the Getting Started App, for the enhanced one the port value is given separately, not in the IP input field. What TWX version are you using ? If you are using versions higher or equal to 6.0 you need to allow Rest calls to have it working. These are the steps to follow for this :

1.           Click on Subsystems under SYSTEM within the left pane of Composer

2.            Click on PlatformSubsystem

3.            Click on Configuration

4.            Check the box next to Allow Request Method Switch to allow all REST API calls through a browser URL

5.            Uncheck Filter Content-Type

Let me know if this fixes the issue,

Thank you,

Veronica

By ThingWorx instance, the document is referring to the server where ThingWorx is installed. Are you following a specific guide? Do you have ThingWorx installed locally or do you have access to a cloud instance?

Hi,

If you are accessing your ThingWorx instance at this URL for example http://thingworx-academic-staff.cloud.thingworx.com, your ThingWorx instance name is thingworx-academic-staff.cloud.thingworx.com.

Best regards,

Veronica

Hi Amjath,

If you have installed ThingWorx locally, you need to use the IP address of your PC as well as the port on which your tomcat is listening. The IP of your PC is the IP to use for your ThingWorx Instance.

    Yes, your PC and your Raspberry Pi need to be on the same network.

    It's my pleasure to help . You may need to open the port on which your tomcat is listening, 80 in your case. Here is a tutorial to do this How to Access localhost on Android over wifi | MobiTechie​.

    To check that you can access ThingWorx from your phone, put the ip address of your PC in your smarphone browser. If you see the tomcat localhost you are set up, if you cannot see it, verify your connection and firewall rules.

    Thank you,

    Veronica
